### Local -- User-specific Features
NFD has a special feature source named *local* which is designed for getting the
labels from user-specific feature detector. It provides a mechanism for users to
implement custom feature sources in a pluggable way, without modifying nfd
source code or Docker images. The local feature source can be used to advertise
new user-specific features, and, for overriding labels created by the other
feature sources.

other feature sources.
The *local* feature source gets its labels by two different ways:
* It tries to execute files found under `/etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/source.d/`
directory. The hook files must be executable and they are supposed to print all
discovered features in `stdout`, one per line. With ELF binaries static
linking is recommended as the selection of system libraries available in the
NFD release image is very limited. Other runtimes currently supported by the
NFD stock image are bash and perl.
* It reads files found under `/etc/kubernetes/node-feature-discovery/features.d/`
directory. The file content is expected to be similar to the hook output (described above).
